In case you were in any doubt that the media has been captured by the Pharma-Industrial complex we had this headline in The Daily Telegraph on Saturday August 31;
Ozempic hailed as 'fountain of youth'
Written by Health Editor Laura Donnelly, the lead article made several extraordinary claims, appearing to seed the idea that perfectly healthy people would eventually get to benefit from weekly injections of the drug in order to 'prolong life'.
If you hadn't heard, Ozempic and Wegovy are semaglutide injections being promoted as miracle 'weight loss' drugs by all forms of media including popular social media influencers and celebretards.
Pulling apart every ridiculous paragraph of this advertisement would be fun, but far too time consuming for both you and me.
However there are some that are just too good to allow us to pass them by. Let's start with this one..
"In an unprecedented development, 11 studies published in one day..."
So, it's obviously no coincidence that the industry has conspired to pull together 11 apparently independent studies that all draw the same conclusion. Ok.
The article quickly switches course, imploring the Government to make the drugs available on the NHS to ease the burden on that holy institution - just like when Sir Keir Starmer said his team 'could' ban smoking in outdoor public spaces to save the NHS billions (presumably 20-30 years down the line, or something).
Donnelly states millions of non-overweight people would benefit from the injections meaning the State wouldn't have to resort to 'nanny state' measures like the smoking ban.
So you see what she's doing - implying that at some point the Government is going to 'clamp down' on eating and drinking practices it doesn't approve of. Does she know something we don't?
These studies - that all came to the same conclusion don't forget - claim semaglutide can 'control previously untreatable blood pressure <sic> and reverse kidney disease'! It can also 'cut deaths by up to a third'!
We later find out what 'cut deaths by up to a third actually means'. In a Harvard study, people aged 45 and over given injections during the pandemic (? - there was no pandemic) who went on to contract Covid (again ? - presumably this was diagnosed with a faulty and fraudulent test) had death rates 34% lower than those who did not get the jabs.
Apparently this led Harvard's Dr Jeremy Samuel Faust to claim the jabs were 'akin to a vaccine' which would 'only get stronger over time'. What does that even mean! There is so much wrong with this article I'm beginning to think it's just nothing more than trolling.
Back on the front page, Prof Harlan Krumholz of Yale University (income for 2025 projected to be $6 billion) says his mind has been blown.
"I would say if you're improving someone's cardio-metabollic health...you're putting them in a position to live longer and better."
Firstly, it looks like these studies took place on people aged 45+ who were either overweight or obese. They are currently on course to live shorter than average lives with much worse prognoses than healthier people.
Yet Krumholz thinks weekly injections will reverse this. "It wouldn't surprise me that improving people's health this way actually slows down the ageing process."
I use that sort of language when I think a 12/1 chance will outrun its price. "It wouldn't surprise me if xx goes well here" I might say, backing that up with some data like the horse is coming back from a break which has served him it well in the past, or that it's best form is at a specific type of track.
So we can say that Krumholz, who this article is centred around, is speculating that he probably gives about a 7.5% chance of his claims actually happening. And that's being generous. Some scientist.
Let's finish with some actual data coming out about these injectables.
In the UK, 70% of those taking the drug choose to come off it after two years or less.
If a patient loses 15-20kg in weight over a set period, 40% of that weight will come from lean mass - muscle, bone and some water. Not good.
Once you stop the injections the weight goes straight back on, mostly as fat and especially in the 40+ category. This is because the body will have either more fat cells or larger fat cells to compensate for the loss of bone and muscle, which is much harder to regrow.
Finally let's go to wegovy.com, the official site.
On the first page there is a long list of side effects, the main one being thyroid tumours, including cancers. The company states that Wegovy causes thyroid cancers in rodents, but that it's not known if it will have the same effect in humans - presumably as trials either haven't taken place or been completed.
Well that's nice, isn't it.
Meanwhile, the lawsuits are already piling up - the first one registered in August 2023 alleged Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer of Ozempic, was negligent in testing and monitoring the drug after it was approved for use.
My money says two years from now there won't be a single social media influencer of celebretard going near this stuff.
This is a reminder to not trust the legacy media. Or Big Pharma.
